A few months ago I got so fed up of squinting at glowing rectangles to stay informed/updated. I feel like there's a finite amount of podcasts I can reasonably follow/digest so I built a very basic prototype to summarise RSS feeds/transform the content and transcribe it in to a personalised podcast.

I put a bit more work in since May have it running almost end to end, still with plenty of gotchas. It's transcribing on an RTX3070 under my desk so pretty limited, but have enjoyed a few morning briefings just as I want them (weather, chance of rain today, BBC/NPR top stories from yesterday, some specific sports news then HN most popular summarised with summary of comments. Got a chuckle out of the LLM summarisation of HN commen threads which was always "Comments reaction: mixed" (which it no longer embeds!)

Found traces of it being done before and I understand you can do similar in Notebook LM, but I was hoping to build something set-and-forget.

Genuinely curious if people would just let this rip with no obvious isolation?

I’m aware Mac OS has some isolation/sandboxes but without running codex via docker I wouldn’t be running codex.

(Appreciate there are still risks)

More focussed on developer UX than telemetry, `Make VS Code Awesome` [0] shares a lot of configs to clean up the UI/nags/prompts. I'm not affiliated but have bought it and found it significantly improved my days in Code.

I'm implementing some faceting in a project I'm working on. I have some nested `jsonb` columns which include categorical variables (to quote this article).

The table is only 5 million rows and isn't likely to grow significantly, but it is not very wide.

The performance is okay and I was about to experiment with flattening out the table (putting all categorical vars into their own columns) and indexing that way vs. indexing JSONb paths.

I'm not super familiar with the postgres internals to know if this is better or worse so wondering if anyone could share any similar experience?!

Non-starter because you don't want to migrate the images into Cloudflare? I.e. you want the transformation/caching of some non-CDN images via Cloudflare?

Asking as this could look very attractive (£ wise) for a project with images stored in Uploadcare where it would be feasible for us to do the source-image migration.

They also had a snafu with marketing emails late last year [1] - not a great look for a company handling bank/payments.

I recently purchased something from the official UK Nintendo Store [1]. I did not opt-in, and was not asked to opt-in, to marketing emails.

Several days after purchase I received a marketing email with an Unsubscribe link.

I submitted a GDPR enquiry and after a few weeks I get:

  Having investigated this matter fully, we can see that you were opted in as a result of a small technical difficulty which we are now fixing. We have taken action to set your marketing permissions to "no" as requested.

I think we're so far past the GDPR "start date" that there's an apathy to it from companies and they're pushing the limits again. How Nintendo can have such a formalised GDPR enquiry process but such sloppy controls is beyond me. I will formally complain to ICO (UK data regulator) but I doubt it'll effect much.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, they are going to have an immense SLA claim issue. 99.9% SLA on Workspace services, so any business paying for Google for Business (now known as Workspace) is going to have a credit claim (assuming the outage is longer than 43m 49s which feels like it will be).

Edit: As I comment it looks like things are coming back! Timing or what...

Workable solution for "who was in the office" to aid tracing, but the capacity part seems a bit off.

You'd really want to know ahead of commuting what the planned capacity is, and make a decision based off of that.

Otherwise you run the risk of travelling in and walking into an over capacity office. Surely better to prevent this than view a report about it after the fact.

I was a bit confused given the recent launch of YC-funded Stacker (https://stacker.app/) - given the sibling comment, it sounds like another Stacker will be unveiled soon!

It’ll be interesting to see how Strava copes when the tap is turned on again. Maybe there’s some rate limiting built in but they’ll be getting a flood of accumulated data to process

I've also made quite a bit of bread - very satisfying first thing in the morning.

I used the change in routine to put spare time into launching a specialty coffee indexing site[1]. I've been thinking about it for +1 year.

Still working on the backend and the ultimate goal is to tell you when harvests from producers you've liked before are back on sale (i.e. I liked this coffee last year, what might I like this year), and build a kind of engine to recommend coffees.

(It's also a testbed for ruby continuous deployment with Docker!)

I've come back to TabNine after a hiatus and do see the occasional lag or the process thrashing at 100% of a core. Depending on mood I'll kill it or let it recover. I find myself forgiving any sporadic lags thanks to the productivity gains.

On the desktop side, I'd recommend Tim[1] to anyone looking for a similarly-simple, hassle free time tracking app ($2.99 on Mac app store). My only gripe is you can't archive old tasks so the menu gets a little overwhelming.

I used to publish[1] guides/snippets a lot more frequently, but sort of feel the audience for these things has dried up and naturally favour a StackExchange result instead. I now do it to help that 0.01% of people who find a post, or as an outlet to produce/create something when other things are a little slower on that front.

I've been running some live services on Hetzner Cloud (https://www.hetzner.com/cloud) and it's been very reliable. One server blip in ~1 year.

2Gb (20Gb storage, 20Tb transfer) from €2.49 - there are a few different DCs now so you can hedge your bets. The higher spec ones are great for Dockerizing a couple of postgresql backup servers.

Their VPS ('Cloud') offer is relatively new, with the dedicated and server auctions being their historical staple.

P.S. Very Euro centric, so probably not so good for Americas/AsiaPac
